What does it mean for an implant to cause rejection?
As we are used to seeing all kinds of results around dental implants. The vast majority are satisfactory. But sometimes it happens that an implant does not integrate the way it should in the mouth.
When this osseointegration process fails, this is when we speak of the mouth rejecting the implant. Specifically, what happens is that instead of bone forming around the implant, fibrous tissue forms between the bone and the implant. Which prevents it from being integrated properly.
This occurs in only one or two percent of cases. And the action required is to remove the implant, clean the area, and place a new implant to start the process again. In some cases it is advisable to wait a couple of months before placing the new implant. But in most cases it is possible to place it without waiting, since infection is rare.
Symptoms of dental implant rejection
The symptoms of dental implant rejection are very varied. In some cases, there may even be rejection without any visible symptoms appearing, which is discovered in one of the treatment reviews.
In others, rejection may appear as part of a tissue infection, known as peri-implantitis. In any case, it must be taken into account that long-term pain after implant placement is not normal. So you should go to your dentist as soon as possible if it happens to you.
